This is a small crop of Darlingtonia californica in-situ I took on my Graflex Speed Graphic 4X5 with Kodak Ektar 100. #darlingtonia #cobralily #largeformatphotography #graflex #kodakektar100

Drosera anglica {Juneau, Ak} from @insectsinside_nursery (Insta) has woken up and is off to a banger start this season. It won't last long but it's been nice watching it so work 🪲

This is a disaster for global public health. I think moving to a model where the IC funds directly could be a not-bad thing, esp if it allows for capacity building re: admin for NIH grants and empowering institutions to lead them, but destroying everything first is not how you achieve that.

As a new Heliamphora grower every pitcher seems like a magic trick.

Here it is in June 2024 not long after I brought it home. It grew steadily but slowly for several months until moving inside to the grow tent and being repotted at which point it exploded despite neglectful fertilizer habits.
I highly recommend Byblis If you haven't tried them yet!
My first Byblis gigantea flowers! I got this from @turlockcarnivores17 (Instagram) last year at the BACPS show and sale. Once my nights started getting cold I moved it to the grow tent where it sat for months before I finally repotted it.

My first Pinguicula x "Figgy Pudding" flower opened while I was on vacation! This color is a first in my collection and I couldn't be happier!

CalCarn gave it the name based on the curl at the end of the leaf. Mine lost some of the curl over winter but it's starting to reappear.

My cluster of Drosera capensis "Scorpio" by @calcarnivores.bsky.social

I was never able to wake mine up. After like 2 years I tried sticking it in my terrarium because I got tired of looking at it and expected it would either wake up or rot and it chose to rot, lol. I'll try again some day.

What an unexpected thing to be tagged in! I took those in 2023. The nearest caprifig I've found is 4 mi (6.4km) away. I doubt someone is intentionally growing caprifigs near me and mine haven't fruited yet so there must be another wild tree close by because my figs are definitely getting caprified.

First bloom on my Pinguicula robertiana (Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, México) - I got this ping from Rainbow Carnivorous Plants and it's one of my favorites. Stoked to see it flowering!

Pinguicula laueana "Mariposa" from @calcarnivores.bsky.social - I'm not sure at what point it started turning into a ping mountain but we're approaching 2 years now and it keeps getting taller 😂 #pinguicula #pinguiculalaueana #butterwort #carnivorousplants
